Adil Saif Al-Rahbi: From an Educator to a Chief Executive Officer

Allow me to share my journey with you. In 2017, I proudly graduated from Middle East College with a Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering. However, my academic pursuits didn’t end there. In 2019, I earned a Master of Science in Construction Project and Cost Management. But, my educational journey began with a Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry Education from the Faculty of Education.

My career story is one of continuous evolution. From 2006 to 2018, I dedicated myself to serving as a science teacher at the Ministry of Education. Simultaneously, I delved into the world of construction, working part-time as an assistant site engineer for Base of Modern Construction from 2008 to 2016.

My passion for civil engineering led me to Middle East College in 2014. During my time there, I acquired a multitude of invaluable skills, including communication, collaboration, self-confidence, project management, data analysis/visualization, and problem-solving. These skills inspired me to embark on my entrepreneurial journey in 2016 when I founded my own company, Albarwaaz Engineering Consultancy.

Driven by a thirst for knowledge and a desire to elevate my expertise, I opted to pursue postgraduate studies immediately after obtaining my bachelor’s degree. This decision led me to enroll in the Construction Project and Cost Management Master program at Middle East College in 2018, culminating in my graduation in 2019. This academic achievement opened doors to a realm of new opportunities, enabling me to work on diverse projects.

Subsequently, my career path took me to different roles, including a stint as a Civil Engineer at the Ministry of Education in 2019. In 2023, I embarked on yet another chapter by joining the Contract Consultancy-Tenders and Contracts department at the Ministry of Transport, Communication, and Information Technology.

Recognizing the significance of professional certifications, I collaborated with esteemed organizations and earned membership in the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE). My commitment to lifelong learning is further evidenced by my pursuit of numerous training programs and international certificates, including Project Management Professional (PMP), Oracle Primavera P6, Revit Architecture, STAAD Professional, and an instructor certificate from the Arab Institute for Training in Saudi Arabia.

I take immense pride in being one of Middle East College’s graduates, and I eagerly anticipate the continued unfolding of my success story.
